Topics: This CERN TH institute is motivated by recent debates within the inflationary community concerning the significance of loop corrections in various inflationary scenarios. Our goal is to revisit these classic questions and address new issues that have emerged, some of which require formal theoretical developments. We aim to bridge the gap between the phenomenological community, which focuses on the connection between loops and observations, and the more formal community, which addresses the theoretical aspects.
Format: 3 days of presentations, followed by 2 days dedicated to in-depth discussions and collaboration to stimulate extensive discussions and foster collaboration among participants.
Organizers: Matteo Braglia (NYU), Tim Cohen (CERN), Gabriele Franciolini (CERN), Laura Iacconi (QMUL), Lucas Pinol (LPENS).
